Unknown Salmon/Steelhead Flies

I was in the process of doing an inventory of flies I tied but had not bagged and tagged them yet when I came across these flies. I tied these flies sometime between late 2019 and the present. 

I honestly don't remember which of the many books I have on salmon & steelhead flies they came from or if I found them on a website on the world wide web.

It must have been a senior moment or CRS (can't remember shit) syndrome.

Nymbeet

Nymbeet 

(Stuart Napier)

Hook - Mustad 3906/3906B

Thread - Black.

Tail - Small bunch of black cock hackle equaling the hook length.

Back - A strip of black crow wing or substitute, doubled over lengthways and reaching almost halfway down the sides of the fly, tied in by the tip end.

Body - The original dressing has an underbody of black marabou silk, wrapped with a strip of clear plastic from a particular washing up pot cleaner. Clear Vinyl Rib or Nymph Rib can be substituted. They are three times thicker, so the underbody can be eliminated.

Hackle - Two turns of black cock, the fibers the same length as shank (leave full, not gathered underneath into a throat style).

For a weighted streamer, wrap .015 lead wire over the front half of the shank, leaving about two hook-eye widths for the head.  

Other variations: Orange is a great attractor color, but red or yellow are also good choices for tail and collar color. Further variations can be made with dyed woodchuck fur, such as red, yellow or olive, or by using colored wire for the rib.
